While leafing through a trip report on http://
www.travellingbirder.com/, I came across a link to a forthcoming guide
from Princeton University Press that may be of interest to birders
visiting SE Asia:

"Susan Myers is an experienced birder and naturalist based in
Melbourne, Australia. She has led tours throughout Asia for Victor
Emanuel Nature Tours for more than fifteen years."
